Agricultural Equipment’s net sales increased 10.5% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 (up 8.5% on a constant currency basis), as a result of a strong rebound in demand in LATAM and the continuation of positive market momentum in APAC. Revenue in NAFTA and EMEA were flat to slightly down due to a weak demand environment, partially mitigated by positive pricing.

Operating profit was $159 million in the first quarter ($90 million in the first quarter of 2016). Operating margin increased 2.6 p.p. to 6.8% compared to the first quarter of 2016, as a result of increased revenues in LATAM and APAC, as well as improved fixed cost absorption, disciplined net price realization and manufacturing efficiencies.

Construction Equipment’s net sales decreased 2.4% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 (down 2.8% on a constant currency basis), as a result of a 5% decline in heavy industry demand in NAFTA and continued weak markets in EMEA and LATAM, partially mitigated by market share gains in NAFTA.

Operating loss was $22 million in the first quarter of 2017 (operating profit of $14 million in the first quarter of 2016). Results were affected by a planned slower production schedule in the quarter to maintain appropriate levels of channel inventory, in response to continuing weak market demand. The results were also impacted by a negative price environment driven primarily by sales channel mix in NAFTA, an unfavorable foreign exchange impact on product cost and promotional expenses related to the launch of the new mini-excavator family.

Commercial Vehicles’ net sales increased 2.2% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 (up 4.7% on a constant currency basis), as a result of favorable truck and bus volume, partially offset by lower specialty vehicles volumes. In LATAM, recoveries in Argentinian truck demand more than offset Brazilian weakness.

Operating profit was $28 million for the first quarter of 2017 (operating margin of 1.3%) compared to $38 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease was mainly due to an unfavorable product and market mix in EMEA, lower specialty vehicles volumes and negative foreign currency impacts, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies and material cost reductions.

Powertrain’s net sales increased 13.6% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 (up 16.9% on a constant currency basis), as a result of higher volumes. Sales to external customers accounted for 45% of total net sales (44% in the first quarter of 2016).

Operating profit was $74 million for the first quarter of 2017, a $21 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2016, with an operating margin of 7.4%, up 1.4 p.p. compared to the first quarter of 2016 as a result of higher volumes and manufacturing efficiencies.

Financial Services’ revenues totaled $396 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 2.1% compared to the first quarter of 2016 (down 1.0% on a constant currency basis).
